Dinner Cruise Series Kicks Off in April
The St. Mary’s County Museum Division has announced the schedule for this year’s Dinner & a Cruise series.
The cruises will begin in the spring with a new water taxi, expanded routes, and even more cruise types. The themed cruises will offer visitors the opportunity to enjoy cruising on the St. Clement’s Island water taxi, paired with dinner or other fare, and special themes.
With the purchase of a larger vessel, organizers have been able to expand the types of cruises, destinations, and routes, as the boat will be able to travel farther along the Potomac River.
The opportunity allows for diverse cruise experiences, including:
- April 26, 2026 – Dinner & a Cruise: Between North & South
